SO HOW'D IT GO?
I made a lowfat version of this subbing in tofu for the vegan mayo/olive and lemon juice for the balsamic vinegar, it came out well. I have it in the fridge till tomorrow for a brunch salad, so flavors should blend a bit more by then too. Will be making this again, and maybe I'll try adding in some other spices next time as well for a bit of variety
